DATE: SUNDAY, APRIL 19
TIME: 12:00PM-3:00PM
FACILITATOR: BECKY GALLAGHER
CLASS SIZE: Limited to 8 participants
COST: $50
Kinusaiga is a contemplative Japanese art form with textiles. Fabric scraps are pressed into grooves on foam board to create painterly scenes—no sewing or experience required. This art form is suitable for all skill levels and focuses on upcycling, creativity, and personal expression. In this adult workshop, you’ll explore color, texture, and composition while working slowly and intentionally with fabric.
This class is welcoming to all skill levels and emphasizes mindfulness, sustainability, and creative exploration. Using upcycled fabrics, you’ll design and complete an 8”×10” Kinusaiga artwork inspired by nature, or simple shapes.
All materials are provided, and guidance is offered step‑by‑step in a calm, supportive environment.
Kinusaiga is more than a textile technique—it is a reflection of Japanese cultural values and the philosophy of wabi-sabi. By transforming discarded fabrics into beautiful, meaningful art, Kinusaiga invites us to appreciate imperfection, resourcefulness, and the natural flow of life.
Outcome
By the end of the class, participants will have a finished Kinusaiga artwork, an appreciation for Japanese textile arts, and the skills to continue to explore this technique at home.
